Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Alice in Wonderland Synopsis

From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic 3D fantasy adventure ALICE IN WONDERLAND, a magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time. JOHNNY DEPP stars as the Mad Hatter and MIA WASIKOWSKA as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. The all-star cast also includes ANNE HATHAWAY, HELENA BONHAM CARTER and CRISPIN GLOVER.

Queen of Hearts will delve into Carroll’s life, according to Deadline, focusing on a failed relationship that leaves him brokenhearted and apparently in the proper frame of mind to craft an imaginary tale about a size-shifting young girl who chases after a rabbit. Story of my life right there, minus the heartache and eventual worldwide success.

It was a rough weekend for fantasy, as Jack the Giant Slayer took the top of the box office with a paltry $28 million, falling behind even the much-publicized flop John Carter from this time last year. But somehow Disney is planning to follow-up Jack's failure with their own high-fantasy effort, and one that's on track to do way, way better with audiences

This was 100% inevitable. When a movie makes over a billion dollars at the global box office a sequel is inevitable - the only surprise here is that it didn't happen sooner. A sequel to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is now in development over at Disney.

It's embarrassing to think that Disney could be approaching filmmaking that way. It’s a privilege to make movies and entertain people for a living, especially at Disney, where they rake in the cash regardless of what the film is. Filmmakers, including the executives at the studios, should treat it as such

We all have our favorite films that we’ll defend endlessly as perfect pieces of cinema history devoid of any mistakes or inconsistencies. I’m sorry to inform you of this, but despite the seemingly countless dollars

You know what's great about fairy tales? No, not their classic stories or appeal to multiple generations-- the fact that you can adapt them for free. Public domain stories are apparently all the rage these days

Theater owners and movie studios alike are largely still terrified of VOD moving up to include bigger movies, seeing a future in which you don't pay your $13 to see Iron Man 2 in theaters, but spend $20 to gather all your friends and watch it together at home

At the end of the year, when everyone is boasting that 2010 is the best box office year on record or something like that, remember this fact: according to The International 3D Society, 3D films have accounted for 33% of the domestic box office so far this year

It's not fair to blame Linda Woolverton entirely for the story problems in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, but she probably didn't help much. And it's not fair to assume that Burton's take on the iconic villain Maleficent

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland rode high for a third weekend, taking in another $34 million and bringing its total box office to $265 million. That performance comes against three new comers, two of which were packed with major names that underperformed.

It was a smorgasbord of new releases this weekend with everything from romance to military action thrillers hitting theaters across the country, but none of them came anywhere near Alice In Wonderland, now in its second weekend

Before you get ready to pelt the WB lot with ruby red slippers, Collider has some words of caution for you. Both projects are in development, yes, but apparently there hasn't been movement on either in over a year

Though we live in a society where women are granted and assumed to be the equals of men, somehow that notion still hasn’t caught on in Hollywood. Most of our glass ceilings have long since been shattered except in our movies where

It’s the first real event movie of 2010 and for the record, it’s not because it’s in 3D. Any movie collaboration between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton is worth your time, assuming of course you missed that one time

It's safe to say childhood in the Western world wouldn't be the same without Alice in Wonderland, and regardless of where you first learned about the Cheshire Cat and the Red Queen, they're characters as embedded in your life as people you actually know

I knew that Lewis Carroll had based the character of Alice in Alice in Wonderland on a real, 10-year-old acquaintance, but my brain, after years of washing by Disney pictured her as the blonde, pageant type of their movies

Normally if you indulge in too much cake, you’ll get wider, but in this case, excess sweets make Alice (Mia Wasikowska) grow vertically. Luckily the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) has the perfect place for someone so enormous in her court.

Children aren't allowed into the American International Toy Fair. This is most likely because they don't want kids grabbing at the toys, running around the aisles, or breaking anything. I have come up with another reason: I'm fairly certain that it would cause their head to explode.

in a kind of reverse-logic that can only be explained by complicated studio mathematics, two big new 3D movies are actively trying to limit their stints in theaters. Disney already fought and won for Alice in Wonderland

The original plan wasn’t to have Anne Hathaway play the White Queen, rather the film’s lead, Alice. Then, when Tim Burton joined the project, he already formulated a dream cast and Hathaway wasn’t even part of it

Super Bowl XLIV is still sure to be loaded with amazing new movie content and below we’ve got your comprehensive guide to everything you should be keeping an eye out for, whenever the network breaks away from the football

Disney has released yet another Alice in Wonderland mini-featurette. For anyone who wants to learn a little about what Tim Burton’s doing with the movie but doesn’t want to spend much time learning it, I guess these are perfect

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland comes out in less than two months, y'all, and if you're not already pumped to see what our most psychedelic director has done with the weirdest childrens story of all time, Disney is going to make sure you get there

It's unclear how many of these songs will be included as part of the film, since Danny Elfman has already written a full score. But if this is an effort to bring in attention from young people, they've probably succeeded

Of all the places on the Internet to find movie news, Facebook has been the main provider for information on Tim Burton's upcoming 3D romp Alice in Wonderland. The folks over at the official Alice Facebook page have continued their generous giving of good into the new year with this new shot of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter.

Like mentioned when we got our hands on the new Alice in Wonderland trailer released early this morning, these new trailers finally give us an idea of the Wonderland we're actually going to be seeing. The difference here is that this new extended trailer

Disney has just released a second, even more exciting trailer for Tim Burton’s new Alice in Wonderland adaptation. There’s still plenty of mad hatter but, for a change, they’re cluing us in a little more on the plot.
